Cards 4 the Troops

Greetings Everyone!!!,

I had a wonderful time last Sunday at Ever After Scrapbooks. We had proposed a double event: Meet the New Instructor/Card 4 the Troops in remembrance of 9/11 (ten Years ago). The idea was to be available with free material to any customer that came in the store and meet them (and vice-verse) and make cards that we can send to soldiers abroad, so these soldiers can use the cards to send back to their beloved ones.
If you have more swaps than you know what to do with it and cards that you are not using, you can stop by Ever After and leave them to me. I will pack them all and send it to a non-profit that take care all the cards to be sent.
Now, here some pics of the cards we made together during our event:

I hope see your generosity turned into cards.

Meet the New Instructor and Cards 4 the Troops

Greetings after a dark (yet fun) night.
Yes, we survived after 9 long hours with no electricity. Well, since I came from the Amazon, I wasn't so stressed being without power. I remember when my family and I spent the whole summer vocation in our beach house and sometimes without any electricity, no big deal. More fun time for us, kids, playing with our hands making shadows on the wall or just playing cards around the candle, and it was with that spirit in mind that we spent our evening. Luckily, I didn't need to cook because I had made "caldo verde" or green broth as a literal translation, a yummy Portuguese-soup, the night before and had saved the left over in the freezer. Dinner was saved just heating it up and enjoying the night.

But the reason for this post it is not the power failure we lived yesterday. I would like to invite you all to join me this coming Sunday, yes, 9/11 to make free cards to send to our troops abroad.
Since I am the new team member for Ever After Scrapbooks and just launched some new paper craft classes there, Camille and I thought it would be an excellent idea to have a "meet the new instructor"/community service event.
Ever After is donating some supplies and I will bring stamps, ink pads, punches and so on, so we can make thoughtful cards to send to our soldiers in remembrance of 9/11 attack 10 years ago.
Our cards 4 the troops event will happen from 11 am to 1 pm, just this Sunday. This is a family event, therefore husbands or boyfriends and children are welcome to participate.

I hope see you there!
